Joining the podcast this week is writer, podcaster and sex historian Dr Kate Lister! She helps answer questions like: When was the best time in history to be a single woman? Was Queen Elizabeth I really a virgin? And if you were a sex loving single woman in the 19th century, was it easier to just tell people you’re actually married to a ghost?

This week our Single Ladies are joined by author and founder of Sex Talks, Emma-Louise Boynton! She helps Amy and Harriet navigate the tricky subject of ✨pleasure✨ and answers questions like: How useful is sex therapy when you’re not in a relationship? What are things you can do to get out of your head and into your body? And is “just do it for the plot” the worst piece of dating advice ever?

CW: Discussion of eating disorders and sexual assault.

This week Amy and Harriet are joined by comedian, author, speaker and all-round bad ass, Cally Beaton and her gorgeous pooch Jeff! She shares her infinite wisdom and answers questions like: How can you stop creating obstacles for yourself and just go for it? Is there ever any getting away from the classic “mum guilt”? And HOW do you flirt with someone from across a room without exchanging a single word? (No really, how? Amy REALLY needs to know.)

Cally's book Namaste Motherf*ckers is out now in paperback. Grab your copy at callybeaton.com.
